Pulled the 69 out of the garage yesterday, shut it off for just a minute to load some things in the car. When I tried to crank it back up, EVERYTHING is dead. No clicking from the starter, no lights, no clock, no radio. Battery shows 12.5 volts, with clean connections there. Will a bad fusible link cause this? Any other ideas? Just wondered where to look first. Thanks!

Yes it can. Take your voltmeter and start tracking it down. You know the battery is good. Look at the fusible link and then start at the hot wires on the starter and keep working your way until you find no power.

Check the ground wire where it bolts to the frame, also make sure the starter bolt is tight

Same thing happened to me years ago on my '70. Ended up being the fuse link at the horn relay.

Thanks guys, it was indeed the fusible link!

Which One?
